Smoothed particle hydrodynamics for nonlinear solid mechanics

Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is one of the simplest meshless methods currently in use. The method has seen significant development and has been the germination point for many other meshless methods. The development of new meshless methods regularly uses standard SPH as a starting point, while trying to improve on issues related to consistency and stability. Despite these perceived flaws it is favoured by many researchers because of its simple structure and the ease with which it can be implemented.
